 Cleanliness Drive on Gandhi Jayanti 
On 2nd October 2024, the School organized a Cleanliness Drive to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti, paying tribute to Mahatma Gandhi and his vision for a clean and healthy India. The event aimed to instill a sense of responsibility among students towards cleanliness and environmental conservation.
Students participated enthusiastically, cleaning up litter in and around the school campus. They also spread awareness about the importance of maintaining cleanliness in our surroundings. The drive successfully fostered a spirit of unity and highlighted the values of environmental stewardship, echoing Gandhiji's teachings.
 Creativity 
The English project had a fabulous outcome, and it was a truly creative experience. The whole class worked on this project in groups, and I would like to appreciate each and everyone's effort, as they approached the project with great energy, interest, and happy smiles on their faces. Every group put in a lot of effort. 
The theme of the project was to describe the childhood of A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, and we were all very excited to work on it. This project sparked new imagination and creativity in our minds. The credit for this wonderful project and the idea to explore the childhood of A.P.J. Abdul Kalam goes to our very adorable teacher, Nikita Ma'am. She brought this new way of thinking into our brains, and I would like to appreciate her efforts as well. In the end, I would say that this project was very inspiring for all of us.

 Interview with Ashwini Chauhan (Alumni)  
REPORTER (RP) - Mohita Solanki
RP: What is your current professional endeavor?  
ACN: I am currently the Spokesperson and Manager for Laiba Lubricants & Grease Trading LLC, based in Dubai. Recently, I had the privilege of representing our company at the Dubai World Trade Center, where we participated in an exhibition organized by BOLAT. I was also fortunate to be featured in an interview conducted by them. My role involves managing business development, working closely with clients to meet their industrial operational needs, closing deals, and overseeing the marketing department.
RP: What was your overall experience like at The Fabindia School?  
ACN: As an alumnus of The Fabindia School, my experience was truly transformative. The school provided a well-rounded education that extended beyond academics, with a focus on personal growth and values such as leadership, responsibility, and community service.  
I also loved how the school emphasized extracurricular activities, allowing me to explore my interests in sports, singing, extempore, and even unique competitions like "Best Out of Waste," where I was always eager to participate and consistently won prizes.  
Overall, my time at Fabindia played a very important role in preparing me for the professional challenges I face today, and I’m deeply grateful for the strong foundation it gave me.
RP: What is your favorite memory of the school that you still reminisce about?  
ACN: One of my favorite memories from The Fabindia School is the community service visits we made to Pindwara, the village adopted by the school. After school hours, we would often visit the village and sit with the elders, women, and children, helping to shape the future of the community by sharing the knowledge we had learned in class. The experience of connecting with them, exchanging stories, and witnessing the impact of our education firsthand was truly unique.  
Those visits were both eye-opening and rewarding. Working with my classmates and seniors to uplift the village gave me a sense of purpose and taught me the importance of giving back to the community. I continue to reflect on this memory, as it shaped my perspective on leadership, responsibility, and the power of education—lessons that have stayed with me ever since.
RP: What advice would you like to give to current students?  
ACN: My advice to current students is to seize every opportunity, both in and out of the classroom. Explore new interests through extracurricular activities and community service, as these experiences will enhance your skills and broaden your perspective, enriching both your personal and professional development.  
Building relationships with your peers and educators is also crucial. These connections can offer valuable support and mentorship throughout your educational journey.  
Stay curious and open-minded. The world offers countless possibilities, and being receptive to new ideas and experiences will greatly enhance your personal growth and future career prospects. Remember, while grades are important, personal growth and cultivating a well-rounded perspective are equally essential.
